What do you reckon the physical box would be like compared to the current ones? In between X1X and PS4 Pro? Better than X1X?
Poll: Google Stadia - CLOSING DOWN on 18th Jan 2023
Based on their phones they tend to have below par raw power but a full feature set.
Well you can forget the talk about physical hardware. It is all streaming. I don't know if anyone is watching but I rather liked the way the demo guy seamlessly switched between tablet/phone/laptop/TV and continued the game from the exact same point each time.
With respect, I think you're an exception. Most folks won't notice the lag like you can.

Are you calling me difficult? You're not wrong
Input lag is a massively different issue to ping in an online game though. Have you tried steam streaming?

No, I haven't tried any form of game streaming yet. They are making this sound too good to be true though. I particularly like the idea of scalable units so the developers can in theory have unlimited power to showcase their games.
If they have servers in all the major cities then it could work well. I'll have to test it.
I'm just about to watch Digital Foundry's video as they have already had access to it.

Un-ergonomic controller, I'm out!
You can use any controller you want. It's just a remote PC.

That’ll teach me for just looking at pics
What do you think will happen with regards to PC games? If games coming on Stadia are running on a combo of Linux/Vulkan, will this make AAA titles a day and date release on Linux for everybody? And will the Windows version be using Vulkan instead of/or in addition to DirectX?
Did Google announce the technology behind it?

looks good, sick of buying graphics cards
It's an AMD APU I think but it's definitely Linux and Vulkan. I did remember that bit.
You won't want to use this service on anything wireless. The jitter on 5g is not great.

Digital foundry said that taking in to account the screen response time, the Stadia should give exactly the same input lag as an Xbox one X connected directly in to a modern 2018 OLED TV!
